Great to know he already has a good level of English! It'll really help him settle a lot quicker.

Plenty examples of players never really settling because they fail to integrate themselves into a new culture (Lamela & Osvaldo this season). On the other side of the coin, it's hard to imagine that Mata came here with very little or no English, yet he now speaks better than JT! And look how quickly he settled! I hope its the same for Mo.

I might be mistaken, but I am sure he spoke a decent amount of English when he join Chelsea. He is more than a football player mentally.

Ivanovic on Salah: "With the ball he is very quick, very smart with his movement, the kind of player that we need in the squad" #CFC

Ivanovic on Salah: "He reminds me of Robben, the way he plays always going from the right wing but going inside left-footed" #CFC (Guardian)

Exactly. Mourinho always had a robben/pandev/dimaria at every club.

His left foot is a major factor in mourinhos tactics than we know. Won't be shocked to see him and matic as sure starters later this season.

But where does that leave Willian :(

He has been awesome and Oscar and Hazard are untouchable

You would think that but he actually spoke through a translator when he first came here; look up his first interviews.

Definitely. He was a guy who managed to get a degree while playing football. I don't even know of any other footballer who's done the same!

But anyway, enough about Mata...

Didn't realise that. Aboutrika also got a degree, which is a very rare sight.

Willian is the better technical player, better first touch, and better technique. But I think salah runs faster with the ball.

But if you follow mourinho's career, he always seems to end up having a left footer on the right. That's why he tried mata there, but he was too slow.

No way! Maybe I should watch more of him but to me he seems very fast without the ball. He's still quick with it, but I don't think he's Willian quick with the ball at his feet.

I also think we're being a little optimistic. He's a pretty small dude, adjusting to the power in the PL will take some time surely. I hope I'm wrong though, but for the moment I'm tempering my expectations, at least for the remainder of this season.

I know willian is faster than him in long distances but I'm not sure he's as fast with the ball. We'll see.

He'll take time to adjust. But I was basing my judgement on mourinho's usual formations in other teams he coached. His knack for ending up with left footers on the right might work in salah's favour

Does he kind of remind anyone else of Robben? Speed, dribbling, deadly left foot

Just remember when Arjen came over here from PSV he wasn't world class, when he left for Real Madrid he was worth £25m (in 2007 so adjust for inflation)

If we can have a similar effect on Salah i'll be a very happy chappy, they've got similar qualities and I've always been a bit of a Robben fan, he can create something out of nothing with a drop of the shoulder or cheeky dink into the box.

Don't get me wrong here i'm not saying he's on par with Robben, i'm saying there's enough similarities for me to get excited!
